Hosler Middle

Summary:

Hosler Middle is a public middle school located in Lynwood, California, serving 951 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Lynwood Unified School District, which is ranked 1207 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hosler Middle faces several significant challenges. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2020-2021 to 25.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Hosler Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 25.58% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to 31.61% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of California middle schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. Additionally, Hosler Middle has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.49% to 93.88% over the past few years.

When comparing Hosler Middle to nearby schools, the data shows that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, Willowbrook Middle, which is part of the Compton Unified School District, consistently outperforms Hosler Middle across various academic measures. The combination of high poverty rates, low academic achievement, and high chronic absenteeism at Hosler Middle suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support from the district and community may be necessary to address these issues.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
